The cinematography, both bleakly moody and exquisite to look at, is more cinematic and perfectly captures the frozen landscape which is like a character in itself. One is the production values, which are far more audacious here. Where Fincher's film improves over the previous version are in four areas. Of the two versions, the Swedish version just gets the edge for its incredible atmosphere complete with bleakness, chills, shocks and is more authentic, with Noomi Rapace burning the screen enigmatically with her presence.
The book is a fantastic read, and as an adaptation while it is condensed and has some changes Fincher's film still adheres to the basic tone of the book as does the Swedish version.
Despite being often considered a remake, personally prefer to call it a second adaptation of the book.
And this is somebody who found a lot to like about all his films, including his lesser ones like 'Alien 3' and 'Panic Room'. Not quite in the top 5 of David Fincher's best films ('Se7en', 'The Social Network', 'Fight Club', 'Gone Girl' and 'Zodiac') but it does come close.
